In Memory of Paul Younger 💙

My mum and I are raising £3,500 in memory of my dad, Paul Younger, for Julia’s House.

Julia’s House supports children with life-threatening and terminal illnesses, and their families, providing care, comfort, and dignity at the most difficult times imaginable. It’s an incredible charity, and one we’re proud to support in my dad’s memory.

The Challenge

To raise this money, I’ve committed from now till October, taking on physical and fundraising challenges — pushing myself both physically and mentally throughout the year, all building towards one final, huge challenge:

Walking 50km along the Great Wall of China in September.

The Journey Starts Now

Before China, I’ll be taking on at least one (sometimes two) challenges every month, including:

A 16km race through Lytchett Minster, Poole (8th February)

Bournemouth Bay Half Marathon on (22nd March)

Hiking 15 miles in Wales on the Fan Dance

Swimming from Poole to Brownsea Island and back

A white-collar boxing match

A half-marathon along the Jurassic Coast

Swanage Triathlon

Plus running, cycling, swimming, long walks, and endurance challenges throughout the year

More Ways We’re Raising Money

Alongside the physical challenges, we’ll also be holding:

A car boot sale, with donations from friends and family

A charity BBQ at the beach hut, with music, drinks, games, and plenty of fun — all for a great cause

Why This Matters

This year is about remembering my dad through something positive — turning effort, discomfort, and determination into real support for children and families who are facing battles far tougher than any challenge I’ll take on.

Every donation, regardless of its size, makes a difference.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page helps just as much.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and generosity 💙
